001Okay, good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good evening. Um, welcome. Uh, we're going to move on to uh number five on our agenda communic I'm sorry we're not we're going to go to number four and uh we're going to do uh please rise rise for the pledge. To the flag stands, one nation under God, indivisible, liberty, apologies for the uh a little bit tardy start to uh tonight's meeting, but we'll move on now to communications from the public and press. Uh, anyone here wish to make a statement to the board? Okay, hearing uh, no clamor for that, uh, we'll move on to the next agenda item and I'll turn it over to uh, Mr. Burke for some recognitions that the board would like to uh, to make this evening. So the first recognition that I would like
002to make is that in April, one of our Madison teachers, Kim Valen Goat, was recognized for being a teacher of kindness and received an award from NBC Watertown. And as a winner of that award, Mrs. Valenote, uh was awarded $250 uh um uh award through the Northern New York Community Foundation to purchase items for her classroom. So, I believe Kim is here and I would like to congratulate her on that award and uh have her recognized. So, Kim, would do you mind standing? [Applause] Congratulations. Tenure is not an award for participation. Tenure is an honor that's granted for people who are recognized as being excellent in their career. And tonight we have a number of people that I will be recommending for tenure. And hopefully the board will agree with me that these represent the
003best of the best and that we should be proud to have them here at Msina. So when I call your name, if you'd please stand and be recognized. Being recognized for tenure this evening or recommended for tenure. Anna Snell, teaching assistant at Nightingale. Darlene Bordeaux, teaching assistant at Nightingale.

Oh, and I'll see you out on the trails in the winter, right? Yes. Oh, that's wonderful, Andrew.

So, it's totally Perfect. That's I think that's actually really good. Yes. Yes. Because maybe this Well, maybe good. So they must have thought that you were good at listening. Yeah. Okay. That's because of AP, right? Because of IV. IP second language. Oh yes. Well, thank you for Yeah, your introduction a little bit because All right. So, um, we can get the board back seated at the table here. We'll move on with our meeting. It's quite all right. So, uh, I hope everybody enjoyed that as much as I did. I thought that was a a really nice thing to do for our uh
007newly tenured faculty and um I think we'll look to try to continue to do that on a yearly basis. Um, so we'll move on now to uh information and reports. And first up is our student exeicio presentation. And um obviously it's Isabelle's last meeting as our uh student exeicio. So she's not here. And uh once she does arrive, she she she did let us know that she would be here late. um we'll just kind of slide her presentation in um hopefully wherever we are uh in the meeting. Um so we'll move on then to the facilities committee committee meeting uh report and trustee LeBlanc. So, I'm sorry I don't have my glasses, so I'll have a hard time reading my little notes here. But we met June 2nd and uh we had Megan from King
008and King who did a review of the of uh the capital project where we stood with timelines and the stages to come and where we stood with the progress. So, everything's on in in line and working progressing very well. We talked a little bit about capital outlay. some corrections that we're going to have to make. We're going to focus on that window for high school and we'll see how much money we have left for from the 100,000 that we have. We talked about the steam pipe. We'll see if we'll have to expose it depending. We're looking at a lot of of proposition to see if we're going to have to expose. It's currently exposed and it's blocking the street and we'll see if we can do better than what we're we have now. We review
009we reviewed the charter the charter and no change was made to the charter. We talked about equipment also on the bus, new equipment, cameras on the on the on the buses and new radios. Essentially, it was a good meeting. That's it. Okay. Thank you, Rober. Uh, any questions for Rober on the facilities committee meeting report? Yeah, Rober, what do you mean we'll see what we can do with the steamline pipe? So, initially when we talked about it, we were thinking of putting a pipe overhead so the traffic could go. Yes. But we're questioning the look of this and if it's possible to bring the boilers inside the high school if we find a a room for it or maybe burying them again. Okay. So So is is there like um because I'm looking at the
010high school part and I don't see it. Is it listed under the cab part central administration? because I don't see it listed anywhere as being part of this capital project. It it should show um under the high school and it's just HVAC. Oh, there's a lot of work to be done on HVAC updates. We knew it was it was we knew it was coming but the thing broke like last year and we had to fix it temporarily. Wait awaiting the next capital project. So, is it listed as boiler conversion? If that's what Yes. So, it could be listed as any of that. Um, and those are some of the real specifics on that timeline. Um, but to Robera's point, we did actually meet today. We'll share it with the facilities committee. Uh, we will be
011doing a walk through next Wednesday of the high school trying to find locations. Um, it most likely will not be on the first floor, so not, you know, not occupying a space that's currently occupied. Um the engineer did light up when we talked about possibly putting it into a basement. It'll take a little work to do the excavation and that type. Um but it's going to significantly help uh with our phasing so that again it's all very preliminary. All of this is very preliminary. Um you know these are all just concepts but uh once we get into explore things next week I'll have a better sense on uh on that concept of putting the heating plant for the high school at the high school. Okay. Okay, thank you. Any other questions for Rober or or
012for Mr. Burke for that matter on facilities? Okay, moving then on to the policy committee report. Okay, the policy committee met on June 4th and um I'll just do the 7,000 series we reviewed real quick. Policy 7615, Temporary Placement of Students with Disabilities. 7616, Student IEP Development Provisions. 7617, Interim Services to Students Awaiting Residential Placement. 7618, Pre-referral Intervention Strategies and General Education. 7620, Students with Disabilities Participating in School District Programs. 7630, Committee on Special Education, Committee on Preschool Special Education. and 7650 identification register of children with with disabilities. Those were all review only. Um there are no uh recommended changes as they all pertain to education state law. Uh there were two policies that we did review uh that were part of new state legislation. Um the first one was policy number 5685. It's a
013policy in regards to maximum temperature for school buildings and indoor facilities. And so with the policy, um, it pretty much outlays, um, the, um, the temperature and heat conditions, um, for each space within a facility. Um and then it also gives a number of proactive steps that the school district should take in order to reduce um some of those temperatures before moving to a next um next implementation plan which um would include either moving students and staff to cooler spaces or closing early and sending students and staff home according to the district's emergency school closing policy. So that is a new um education law uh recently passed. That's a new policy as it relates to that. Any questions on any of that so far? And then the last one was the cell phone policy. Again,
014this was a review um of 7316. There was a school uh district committee put together comprised of district administrators uh union representatives and uh a representative of the student body uh who were involved on reviewing both the current policy and the updated proposed policy um that we received from Erie 1. And so with the updated policy with Erie 1 um we did review that um and and looked over and and heard some of the feedback from that special committee. Um there was just a section um quoting uh student discipline for accessing internet enabled devices during the school day. Um it listed student affairs um but the student affairs office is only in the high school. So we recommended removing that language um and replacing it with just the main office. Um because if you look
015at that updated ER1 policy, it is very detailed in the way that it lays out what the school district cell phone policy is um from each plan to um right down to um the discipline of it and where specifically location where they should be stored. Um and keep in mind this is a bell-to bell uh policy uh based on the new education law. Any questions? Okay. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Monroe. Um, moving on to my report. I have a few things. And first off, um, God, would you mind, uh, stepping in front of the, uh, board table here for just a moment? [Applause] Uh we also have a few tokens uh of the board's esteem for Miss Beard when she arrives. So uh hopefully that will happen. Um if not, we'll certainly get stuff to
016her. Uh, next thing that I have is um I mentioned this uh very quickly last month and I think Mr. Burke forwarded this to everyone uh today um and that is uh the St. Lawrence Lewis County uh school boards association survey uh that is now uh available for uh board members all across the Boseis area uh to complete. Uh, I would like to ask you to um crack that open and and have a look. It takes maybe five minutes or so to complete. It doesn't um um uh it it doesn't tie you to anything. Uh it's just seek seeking feedback uh on things that uh um we hope to uh develop uh as far as offerings are concerned uh at the uh school school boards association. um looking to as the email says reinvigorate participation,
017encourage representation from each district and assess uh interest in educational events like workshops and networking and other things. So uh please have a look at that. Um again, Mr. Burks um forwarded that to the entire board uh earlier today. Uh so it should be pretty easy to find. Uh the next thing I have is uh I'd like to encourage uh anyone from the board who is interested to attend the uh upcoming NISBA uh leadership and education event which is being held on August 1st and 2nd in Albany uh at the Crown Plaza. Uh I have been to this event one time. Uh I'm hoping to clear my schedule to be able to go back again this year. Uh I found it to be uh very valuable. lots of workshops. It's sort of like a mini
018um NISSBA convention. Uh there's not quite as much to choose from, but there's always lots of um our board colleagues from all over the state uh to network with and lots of great uh educational content to take in. Uh the next thing is uh I would just wanted to remind everyone that uh we are having a senior reception. I guess it would be somewhat akin to what we just did with the uh the tenur staff uh except it's a breakfast event on June 16th. Uh it would be uh I think very valuable for as many board members to uh show up for that uh as possible. It's again it's a it's a breakfast and believe it starts at 7:30. So if you can hang out for half an hour, have a bite to eat, congratulate
019our seniors, uh interact with them, chat with them about their future plans, etc. Um that would be great and it would help to fulfill uh one of our board goals as well. Um, and once again, thank you to Trish for uh being a lot of the driving force in uh creating this event and and getting it going, making it happen. Uh, and obviously Ashley did uh uh a lot of work uh as well. So, that is June 16th, so this coming Monday at 7:30 uh in the auxiliary gym. Um, next thing that I have for you is just a a reminder that uh we're going to be having our reorganizational meeting on July 8th. So, please make note of that in your calendar. Uh, I believe that's going to be a 6:30 start 6. Okay.
0206 o'clock uh on July 8th is our reorg meeting at which point um we'll be uh welcoming Mr. Beckstead out here. Uh this is Bruce Beexstead. If you don't know him, he is uh going to be joining us um at the board table here and we'll be taking he'll be taking uh his oath of office on July 8th. Um the next thing that I have is uh Ashley will be sending everyone um within the next couple of days uh the board self- evaluation uh which will come to you as a Google survey. Um I would like to have that completed by July 1st if uh you could do that. Um this is uh a matter of policy. U policy dictates that we uh do an evaluation of the board's performance each year. Um and um
021let's uh get that done and we can talk about it at the next uh um item that I have to talk about and that is uh an upcoming board of education retreat and uh we are planning to do this uh in a similar way to what we did last year which was uh I I I thought uh it was well attended and um uh pretty concise and didn't take up uh an over amount of time. Um we're looking at doing this on um hopefully July 17th at the grist mill and that'll be in you know 4:30 5:00 something like that um dinner meeting essentially and we'll have we'll have an agenda of uh items to uh to discuss uh that are sort of internal in nature. And um question. Yes. Will you send a survey
022to for availability like different options because I can't on the 17th. Ah okay. Uh we'll we'll take a look at that. Uh I did say hopefully that that that is not in stone. Um but we I guess there are a couple of other dates that we had um um identified as possibilities. So yes, we'll do that. And uh okay, this one's going to be fun. Uh then the next thing that I have is uh I would like to have a a discussion about where we hold our board meetings. Um I understand that in the summer the auditorium might be a good option. Um, but I miss the days of being able to, you know, not have to crane my neck and sit forward in my chair to be able to have a conversation with folks
023that are at the other side of the of the table. Um, I I think for uh, and this is my opinion only, and I'd like to open it up for other opinions to be uh to be put out there. Um, this is just too big of a room. uh it's not conducive to uh conversation. It's not conducive to debate. Um it's difficult to uh see and interact with one another. And um I frankly think going back to um three room number 314 is a better uh solution for our for most of our board meetings when it's hot in the summertime. I can see the sense in coming in here where it might be more comfortable, but uh other than that, I'd like to go back to um 314 and I'm open to other suggestions. Well,
024I will offer a debate then. Okay. Well, this to me is um easier. I'm thinking of ease for people. Certainly easier um for Chris Lincoln. Um, we talked when we first moved here about it being easier for the public accessibility um, in from the the main door to come right in here. Um, myself included. Um, it it's easier to walk into here with my limitations. Um, I guess also I don't find it too big. I mean, maybe if I mean it feels like church where everybody sits in the back. Maybe if everybody sat in the front it would be better perhaps. Um, but I don't mind leaning over and and talking. I The sound quality here is better. But those are just my opinions. Well, I have to agree with you, Joyce. And the other
025thing is the seats are probably a lot more comfortable for people who have to sit here for a long time. And um you know, the staff does not have to move things into 314, set up chairs, set up the podium. There's a lot that had to go into that. It seems like this is a, as Joyce said, a much more accessible place. And I I don't have a problem with um having our meetings here. Uh if if you really hate it, you know, I guess I can go to another location at least some of the time. But I think this is I enjoy this. I don't know about anybody else, but I think it's been very nice. What do you think, Kevin? Uh I I the only thing that I can recall of this and
026when I started on the board, we had meetings in the library and then I mean we've had meetings all over the place. I'll be at the meeting wherever it is. But um I think that what I recall of the conversation that led us to come here was exactly what Joyce said. It was the ease of the staff to set up. Uh I said I I get a little grumpy about moving around. Um I get over it. Either way, I'll be at the meeting. You know, I mean I I'm I will I'll be there. That's just the way it is. But I uh think the same thing that I agree with all of you that the room You mean all except me? No, I agree with you as well. But I'll add the room. Yeah, the
027room is big, but it's crowded here because we don't we don't make a circle. We don't see each other. So, I think the problem started with the microphone. Once we start bringing a microphone and the camera, now we're accommodating the camera and the microphone. It's and it I feel like we're having a meeting for the public and not a meeting among ourselves by sitting in front of a camera and sitting in front of the people instead of sitting among in front of each other. When we had meetings in the library, we were sitting around a table and we were meeting among ourselves. Here I feel like we're talking to them, but we're supposed to conduct business among ourselves. So, we don't have that feeling being in this big room with a table that's almost facing
028that way. We try to do a circle. Maybe if we had four tables in in the middle there and we would sit around. Maybe if we were sitting on the stage there in a u round shape, maybe it would be better, but it wouldn't look as good for the camera. For the camera, it looks great with the the wood there and the nice curtain there. It looks great and it's very convenient. The sound is good and it's there's a air conditioning and people are comfortable for sure. But are we doing this for the public or are we doing it for ourselves? Because I don't think we it entices debates among ourselves when we're facing that way and we're facing a camera with the microphones. Would would that assuage what your concern is, Paul, if we
029were up on the stage and we had the different the former setup, but then you can get all the benefits of this the ease on the staff that we just move from here up to there. I I think that if we were if we were in a more um compact formation, whether it's a U or a V or whatever the the uh the letter of the alphabet we want to use, um a C um then yeah uh I I I do think that that would be an improvement over, you know, some of us being 45 feet apart from others. Let's try it. We're not out of anything. Sounds like consensus is that you you you all like this place. Yes. Long as there's coffee. Okay. Well, uh I I asked uh Mr. Burke if we
030could have time for that discussion and we've had that discussion. Very good. Uh we'll move on now to reports from administration and hand it over to Mr. Burke. So this evening I do have a few things to discuss. Uh the first one is that we I am proposing a data privacy agreement with the Rick. Um actually a number of the Ricks are getting together and creating what's called the risk operations center. A number of years ago, New York State passed what's commonly known as Ed Law 2D, which deals with um student privacy and any types of programs, anything that might have um student identifying information on it has to pass the mustard. It has to be secure. We have to know that they're not selling that type of information. Since the inception of that law,
031it has been up to each school district to negotiate these types of agreements with our vendors, which when you think of the number of software programs that we have in a school, it is an overwhelming task. We are not attorneys. Um, we do the best that we can with making sure those agreements work. We've been working through our local Boseies, but again, it's time. It's making sure everything's legal. And just recently, New York State Education Department did permit um the Ricks to come together and to form this as a as a service, an intermunicipal agreement. Um that their attorneys will vet each of these contracts, vet each of these agreements, and making sure that whatever program we select from them through the through the rock um the Rick's rock that uh it is EDLAW 2D
032compliant. And if they don't have a service or a program that uh we would like, we can take that program to them, that vendor to them, and they will vet that for us. Um, again, I think it it allows us some greater level of security and compliance with with expertise. Any questions on that? So, is Monica Stell, is she our representative? Is that our local? It says neric.org. Like, which one of these says has support structures in place and it has people's names with their email addresses. Who who is our region's representative? I believe in just going right to where I I'm comfortable. Um so I'll be still going to Dr. Dowy um who runs Neric. Okay. And then he'll get us in the into the right person. Okay. So this is not free. There's
033nothing free there. We're going to select the software or something to help us. Right? So for example, we use I Ready and I Ready we know is Ed law 2D compliant but instead of us now relying on our contract with them in terms of it's nothing about the monetary. It's just a contract that they will remain um compliant with all the privacy rights. That's all these contracts are. So it's it's they're not negotiating any money for us. They're just making sure that we have those um compliance agreements in place. It's great news. We've been This has really been a a tough thing for schools over the last few years and like I said, everybody does their best, but uh now we'll have expertise at it. I will also be asking the board to consider the
034professional learning stipen. This is not an increase. This is the same as last year. So, folks that participate in professional development, uh, they will have $25 per hour, and this is when it's outside of school hours, the facilitators will have $50 per hour to facilitate and up to $25 an hour to to prepare the materials. Again, same as what we had last year outside of business hours. Correct. Also to be approved by the board are this uh special education itinerant service rates. Individual tutoring for one student $60 per hour and group tutoring of two or more students $90 per hour. And keep in mind that we also do get reimbursement on these from the county. This is also um a flat rate from last year. I'm asking for a retroactive approval of a for an
035out of I'm sorry, an out of country field trip. Our um third grade students from Madison took a field trip to the Canadian Museum of Natural um history, I'm sorry, Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. And that was this past Tuesday. Also asking the board to approve donations that were made to Madison Elementary um for the theater, $500 from Northern Credit Union, $100 from Michelle Wilson, $100 from Orlando Chiropractic, $40 from Mary Condlin, Hawaiian shirts from Hillary Ray, snacks from the family and friends, and pizza production t-shirts and balloons from the WHO club. And the other donation I would be asking for approval on is the $250 award that went to um our teacher for the kindness award and that's in the sum of $250. Any questions or concerns on any of that? And clearly
036I did not ask Mr. Haget for approval for this last item. Um, but last night I was absolutely impressed by our board president who presented on board of education membership to new board members from from throughout St. Lawrence County. It was easily one of the best that I have seen on that. U, Mr. Haget, you did an outstanding job and I've been singing your praises to everybody since last night. Um, I'm a little afraid he might take a second career working for the school boards association because it was that type of quality and I think his commitment to this board certainly is portraying out to the county level on on a regional level. So, I want to thank you for doing that. Um, I think that was really an eye openener and you had some
037good questions from some of the new board members. Um, and and again, I think it went very very well and I believe also he was about six minutes under his time frame. So that was also remarkable. I I probably started six minutes ahead too because the previous person didn't take as much time. But again, I think it's important to recognize when board members go outside and do those things. So I wanted to thank him publicly and congratulate them on such a incredible job. Well, I'll turn around and say thank you to you for being there for uh the the moral support that you lent me on on that. though. Um, garsh. Yeah, it's a good thing my shirt's red, otherwise I'd really stick out. Okay, moving on after all of that. Uh, theater, uh, to
038recommended actions. Uh, first off, Isabelle is not going to make it. Uh, okay. We can do that now. Uh, no we can't because my computer died. Can I use yours? I I can share mine. Do you have his slide? I do. Good. Thank you. Um, I had it. Thank you. So at this time I would like to take over for Isabelle just temporarily and introduce our 2025 2026 there you go student ex officio and Andrew David if you would stand please. So a little background on Andrew is that he was born in Msina. He attended Trinity from kindergarten through sixth grade. In student government, his positions are varied. He has been a member of student council for three years. He is uh the class of 2026 president for two years, national honor society secretary and
039the French National Honor Society vice president. He has received a number of awards. He's received the Frederick Douglas sportsmanship award two times. He's been accepted into Cornell's pre-ol studies on full scholarship and he also received the RPI medal award. In the community, Andrew is very involved in athletics. He's been a member of cross country for five years, indoor track for four, outdoor track for five, member of the Interact Rotary Club for three, French club sergeant-at-arms chess club member, a band member for eight years, jazz band, two years, mixed choir, four years, NCTEP member, member of the youth services, robotics competive comptor whiz quiz competitor for two years and he is also a full IB diploma student. So he certainly is a very well-rounded young gentleman and I think that we're going to very much welcome
040him to our to our board as our student exeicio. So it's my honor to welcome Andrew. Congratulations. We definitely look forward to your your service to the board and the perspective that you're going to give to us old people up here. So, thank you. And uh we we do have a um uh a basket of things uh for Isabelle. And I think uh maybe what we'll do tomorrow is uh we we'll see if we can spring her from the high school over to the district office or maybe we can go find her and Yeah. Why don't we do it on Monday? Oh, great idea. At the reception. Excellent idea. Yes. And you know, it'll be a nice uh little send off for her. I Yeah, that's great. Hopefully she doesn't watch the video and get
041tipped off. Yeah, that's a great idea. Okay. Uh the hour is getting late. We're getting punchy. Uh so uh we'll move on to recommended actions. And uh first off is the consent agenda items. And uh are there any consent agenda items that uh any board member would like to have pulled for um additional debate or individual vote? Hearing none, I would entertain a motion to uh pass the consent agenda. So moved. Second. Questions or comments? All in favor? Opposed? That carries. On to other items for action. Uh, first up is approval of the data privacy agreement resolution. So move. Second. Any questions or comments? All in favor? Any opposed? That carries. Next is approval of professional learning stipens. So move second. Questions, comments. I just I just have one comment. Is on the proposal. It
042does not say anywhere that that stipend is only given when it's outside of regular business hours. It probably should that should be amended and have that on it so that people who are coming on staff development day don't think that you you know I mean if you're paying them to prep and the prep is happening outside I think that's obvious but to pay them the $25 per hour if they're already being paid at their regular salary is redundant. Sorry that's already recognized. It goes through uh Mrs. Miss Charleston's um office and it all has to be signed off by her. Okay, perfect. That that satisfies your concern? Yep. Okay. Um we have a motion and a second. Uh all in favor? Opposed? That carries. Approval of SEIS tutoring rates. So move. Second questions or comments?
043All in favor? Opposed? Okay. Approval of the outofcount field trip. Out of country field trip. So move. Second. Questions or comments? All in favor? Opposed? approval of the contract with Rochester Regional Health. And this is for um school physicals. School physicals as well as driver physicals as needed. We have a motion and a second. All in favor? Any opposed? Okay, that carries. Approval of the TVI contract. So moved. Second. What is TV again? It's not on my agenda. It's the teacher of the visually impaired. We have a student. Thank you. So we have a motion and a second. All in favor? Opposed? Approval of the crossing guard agreement. Second questions or comments? All in favor? Opposed? Approval of the school resource officer contract. Second. Questions or comments? Have a comment. I don't. So, you know,
044in the United States, the number one cause of death for kids are guns. So, I don't like guns on the property. I think having a gun permanently on the property is not right. It's not something I like. I I like the kids being exposed to police officers and I like when they come and they share their life with with the police officer, but I don't like guns. So, I don't like the idea of SRO. I don't I think we're putting I think with the police uh station being in the middle of the school district, if there's an incident, there's going to be a team, not one guy who's going to react to a an incident. So, I don't think the idea in Msina of having an SRO is good. That's my comment. We're lucky to
045have a good guy. Mr. Flynn is a good guy. And for all the reasons that we discussed, I'm going to support the the proposition. But in general, I don't like guns on a property. I don't think it's a good idea. My comment. Any other comments? Motion and second. Uh, all in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Approval of the bond resolution. Uh, this is for the capital project, I believe, right? And this requires a roll call vote. Do you want to go through that, uh, Ashley, or do you want do you want me to to Okay, very good. Um, Trustee Murphy. Okay, let me get to where the bond resolution is. Just give me just a second. Trying to click and my computer's freaking out. Okay, let's let let's let's start at the other end of the
046table. Trustee Leblanc, we're we're we're doing a roll call vote. Yes or no on the on the um uh bonding resolution for the capital project. Trustee Tusa. Uh I'm a yay, an I, a yes. Trustee Petta, it's weird. All the above. Trustee Monroe, yes. Trustee Jeru, Trustee Hammock, yes. Trustee Hayes, yes. And Trustee Murphy, yes. Very good. Next is approval of personnel action items. And I'll turn that over to Superintendent Burke. Uh, Mr. Haget, I recommend approval of the action items listed as numbers 1 through 128 with the exception of those that we already approved. Yeah, I already took those out. Oh, you did. Okay. Sorry. Okay. Um, any questions or comments? All in favor? Opposed? That carries. And oh one one other from you. Yes. So on the sick leave allowance we have a
047veteran teacher that we are bringing in from another district. It's been pretty much standard fair when we do that that they do rec that typically now they are requesting that they carry some of their days and this would be an agreement to allow the individual to bring 25 days upon employment. Move. Second. Um, all in favor? Opposed? That carries. And that takes care of our agenda business. Do we have uh any items for future agendas that trustees would like to propose? Yes, sir. I wondered if we could get some sort of an update on the grand regionalization plan that we that consumed all the oxygen last fall. I haven't heard much about it. That's for sure. You don't have to do it now. I mean, even if it's next meeting, just Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I'll
048have that for you for the next meeting. Yeah. Thanks. It may be brief. Okay, Mr. Any other future agenda items to uh throw out there? I would just like to say that um on behalf of the art department that they are having their annual art show and that will be next week on June 18th, Wednesday from 4 to 6:00 p.m. at the junior high school gymnasium. And uh of course all of us are invited and encouraged to go. Um, it's a K12 show, so it highlights all of the district's um, artists here and um, I think you'll really enjoy it. So, if you can make it um, anytime between 4 and 6 at the junior high school on June 18th, that'd be great. Thanks. Anything else? Okay, I guess that takes care of our business
049for this evening. Uh, I would now entertain a motion for adjournment. So, move. All in favor? Very good. Have a great uh rest of the month. We'll see you at graduation. Uh, I I will not be available for the senior reception. Um, but I will certainly be there in spirit and um I I I do hope that those of you who are in town uh can make it. Absolutely. What's that?
